Sorry mariposita, not many lunch recommendations. I don�t work around there so I don�t go for lunch in my area much. However, in the evenings there are several nice places around. So here we go off topic (sorry jer):
1.
-La casa de cerveza or �Bierhaus�, corner of juan bravo/alcantara. (great beers and excellent **customer orientated***!! staff) don�t eat anything there though, as it is a bit so-so.
2.
Taverna de padilla, corner of alcantara/padilla opposite the animal shop. (go for the food and the pincho with the drink, then order the Huevos de padilla). The little waiter is a real asset to the bar and the bartender�s wife is in the kitchen preparing home made food. (try also the setas a la plancha.
3.
Good for learning spanish; every friday and saturday; la flauta magica (cuenta cuentos), on-stage storytellers, fantastic, no entrance fee but drinks a bit more expensive.

MAP HERE or on their website at www.ladevedeteca.comopen: mon.-fri. 12:00 noon to 10:00pm. sat. & sun. 12:00 noon to 11pm. they have a drop-box fo returning the flicks when they are closed. prices are... 1 movie = 3� bono 10 movies = 25 euros bono 20 movies = 45 euros I TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE SUMMER SPECIAL IN AUGUST AND GOT A 20 MOVIE BONO TODAY FOR JUST 30 EUROS. COMES TO 1.50 EUROS PER RENTAL AND THE TICKET IS GOOD FOR 1 YEAR  PRICE OF THIS BONO GOES BACK UP TO 45 EUROS ON SEPT. 1ST SO GET YOURS NOW.you also get to keep the movies longer if you use a bono. i was told today that i have to return the movie i rented on monday before they close (10:00pm). cool!!! 1.50 euros and i keep it for the whole weekend. mariposita, you should scope it out, it is not far from your place. i did not notice if they had a kiddies section or not, forgot to look. saludos, jer...

hey mariposita, glad it worked out for ya. yeah, i saw those box sets... "24" (tv series, first 2 seasons). "pink panther" box set. "lord of the rings trilogy". etc... that is a great idea they have to rent them out since, as you said, they are like 60 Euros + to buy at most stores. i asked about their policy on the box sets and they guy said they rent out on a per dvd basis. for example, if a hitchcock box set has 6 movies on 3 dvds in it, you pay per dvd you rent. also, if you rent a trilogy, they count it as 2 dvd rentals, not 3 saludos, jer...

i have a question and hope someone here can help me, i'm really desperate! i'm looking for the spanish dvd boxset of "twin peaks", but i'd like to buy it and not rent it - which wouldn't make so much sense, because i live in germany  it is sold on ebay very often, but mostly for horrible prices.... it's only released in spain and nowhere else in europe (with ALL episodes). does anyone know a store (or internet store) that could have this for sale??? i tried fnac, but they don't have it. thanks! |

Hi, i just checked for you, it seems to be out of stock everywhere. They used to have it on dvdgo.es In Fnac just as you said: nothing. El Corte Ingles, nothing. I found it on Amazon.com, but im not quite sure if it would work with your dvd system, in any case, here you have the link . Well, most probably, when a dvd disappears like this one did, it�s just to remaster it or add some new extras and start to sell it again a bit more expensive a couple of month�s later. They do it with many films. I whish i could help you more, but im out of ideas. If they used to sell it, they surely will do so again. dvdgo.com is a good source via internet. So... take it easy greetings Flora |
